Old Union Golf Club

About this course
Old Union Golf Club sits in the North Georgia mountains near Blairsville, approximately ninety miles north of Atlanta. The course occupies rolling terrain in the Blue Ridge foothills, where elevation changes and natural topography shape the playing experience. The setting offers views of the surrounding mountain landscape, and the routing works with the property's existing contours rather than imposing dramatic earthwork on the land. The course design reflects a traditional approach to mountain golf, with holes that move across varied elevations and incorporate the natural features of the site. Fairways follow the terrain's natural flow, and green complexes are positioned to take advantage of slope and drainage patterns typical of foothill locations. The layout requires players to manage uphill and downhill lies while navigating the property's wooded corridors and open playing areas. Old Union functions as a private club serving members from the North Georgia region and seasonal residents drawn to the mountain communities around Blairsville. The club operates in an area known for second-home development and recreational golf, where courses cater to players seeking a mountain golf experience within reasonable distance of Atlanta. The facility includes typical club amenities and maintains a membership structure common to private clubs in similar resort-adjacent markets throughout the southern Appalachian region.

Getting there
The journey to Old Union Golf Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), roughly ninety minutes south and east through the rolling foothills of northern Georgia, or alternatively via Chattanooga (CHA) for those arriving from the northwest. The drive traces a gradual ascent into the Blue Ridge Mountains, trading interstate commerce for quieter state routes that wind through dense forest and pastoral valleys, the elevation climbing steadily as you approach the high country around Blairsville. For private aviation, the nearby Blairsville-Union County Airport provides a discreet alternative, positioning arrivals just minutes from the club's gates. The final miles unfold along mountain roads where the landscape opens into the serene, elevated terrain that defines this corner of Georgia's upland golf country, setting the tone for the understated elegance that awaits at Old Union.
